JAMB: Bingham Varsity, 7 others lose accreditation licences for law programme
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will not be conducting admissions for the Law programme in eight universities during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to the Board, this follows the suspension of the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for the 2025/2026 academic session at the affected universities.
This was announced on Wednesday in Abuja by Dr Fabian Benjamin, Public Communications Advisor of JAMB.
Benjamin listed the affected institutions as follows: Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State; Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State; Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State; Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State; Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo, Cross River State; Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State; and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.
The statement, entitled “Suspension of Law Programmes at Selected Universities,” particularly warned that the Board would not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enrol in the Law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
“Please note that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions: specifically, the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.
“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enrol in the Law programme at the aforementioned universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.
“Furthermore, the ban on registration for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” the Board stated.
